[Events] 21 Savage Issa Back To School Drive

21 Savage is all about giving back to his community whenever he is given the opportunity these days. His third annual back-to-school initiative comes in combination with the successful launch of his Leading By Example Foundation. The two-day event takes place next weekend on Aug. 4 and Aug. 5, not far from where 21 enjoyed childhood on Glenwood Road in Atlanta.

“Giving back to where I grew up means a lot to me. These kids need it and I use to be one of those kids,” the Atlanta native tells Billboard. “Being able to see someone from where u from make it and come back and genuine give back will motivate these kids to do the same for their kids and the community.”

Just last week, the 25-year-old kicked off his Zone 6 Day initiative by donating $10,000 to ATL’s Continental Colony Elementary School at the LIFE Community Development Corporation event to help fund their Anti-Bullying Campaign. The contribution will also enhance efforts surrounding the school system’s childhood education, educational resources on anti-bullying and mental health, and school supplies.

Earlier in the year (March 13), was on Ellen discussing the launch his 21 Savage Bank Account Campaign, which partnered with non-profit organization Get Schooled and promised 21 teenagers $1,000 each in a scholarship fund to help them take on the challenge of financial literacy. The campaign encourages students to “get the knowledge to pay for college.”
